OSU Commitment Watch - RB Ezekiel Elliot
In the spirit of knowing thy enemy, OSU just received its 6th commit for 2013, St. Louis, Mo RB Ezekiel Elliot. A 3* or 4* by the major sites, he did not hold a Michigan offer.
By all accounts, this was/is supposed to be a big recruiting weekend for OSU, with half a dozen high profile recruits visiting campus, including Anzalone and Pocic. Elliot's commitment will serve to calm buckeye nation which was starting to get uneasy without a commit in the last month while Hoke continues to show that his recruiting success last year was no fluke (and with a couple of expected prospects either cancelling (Devin Butler) or rescheduling (Tim Kimbrough?) their visits this weekend).
Good size, fast, and good hands (playing RB, WR, CB in this highlight clip), but hard to judge the quality of competition.
Ummmmm, Issac??
This may be interesting but I'd save it till AFTER they sign their full class. Just a brief overview of the quality of recruits for the year, people they whiffed on, positions of need that they filled, and where they may be thin on depth sort of thing.
As much as I love reading about the future of Michigan football, I'm far less interested in this with respect to our rivals and much more interested in their current starters and the current state of their team. Why waste time and brain cells on some of these guys who will inevitably flame out, transfer, or flat out disappear before they even hit the field?
the thing is, its the off-season. And the current Buckeye or Irish roster is pretty static, so once it gets analyzed postion by postion or however you want to do it that would be it. With recruiting, there is constantly new news and many people on here are recruiting junkies. Most of the diary posts are front paged for a week or so in the off season so I don't see why this would be seen as a negative. You don't have to read the diary if you don't want, but I for one think it would be a valuable addtion to the site.
edit: Why so angry bro?
6th commit??? thats cute.
Any relation to Jumbo?
Looks like they got Jayme Thompson too. As some may recall, he had a final 3 a few months ago that consisted of WVU, Michigan and a third school that I forget, but he didn't actually have a Michigan offer.
He is now the best safety in Ohio, far better than Dymonte.
